Rescued Wombat With 3 Broken Legs Grows Up So Fat And Happy

In 2013, Yogi lost his mom in a car accident. The baby wombat was rescued, but proved to be quite the handful for his first caretaker.

"He wouldn't take a bottle, was constantly fighting being handled and seemed stressed," a blog post by the Cedar Creek Wombat Rescue Inc. and Hospital in Australia noted. But there was more to Yogi's story than met the eye.

He wasn't just a "problem" wombat with an attitude - he was in serious pain.

The rescue told The Dodo that Yogi has since been set free, but he comes and goes as he pleases, always knowing when to drop in and say "hi" to the people who saved him from a life of discomfort and disability.
